Harley Benton SC-450 CB Classic Series Reviews

Outstanding

Great guitar. Lovely neck-a cross between sc450 plus and dc style. Almost perfect fingerboard with dark wood. It really is a lovely thing. Much higher quality than my sc450plus,which was almost certainly a B-Stock. Grrr. Highly recommended.

Too good to be true, but it is!

Got the guitar earlier than expected, I literally unpacked it, tuned it and started playing right away. It's still mind blowing how a guitar with this price range can look and sound so expensive. Cant find any flaws and trust me i tried, except the versitility of the pickups that sound exactly like a classic les paul just as advertised. Awesome delivery, flawless instrument, totally would buy again!

Wonderful peace of art

Magnificent for it's price, sounds great

My first

This is my first from Harley Benton and not my last. Everything was exceptional. I got the SC 450 CB Les Paul copy for style and playability. When I received the guitar it had minor defects unseeable to the eyes. Neck is very straight and no rough edges along the fret board. The sound is great on the guitar.

Les Paul who????

If I was blindfolded and asked to play a Gibson or a Harley Benton Les Paul I wouldn't be able to tell the difference 🎸😲

great sound

thank you for your cooperation

Astonishing value for money

You could not get a guitar of this quality when I was a kid. Incredible instrument. 5 stars well deserved.

Harley fantastic

Fantastic service and quality goods, couldn't ask for more.

Amazing guitar

I heard a lot about Harley Benton and decided to give one a try. I went for lowest cost set neck single cut and I was impressed. Came set up I just had to tune it, pick ups sound great, action is nice and electronics were better than I expected. For a guitar at this price point this is a great guitar, I would put it in epiphone studio les Paul class.

Brilliant guitar

Great guitar, had a couple of years and I cannot fault it. Love it.

Great guitar

Great guitar for me, I just can't buy a better amplifier to fully enjoy the sound.

Great Guitar For The Money!

Where should I start? The build quality is on par with most Epiphones. The pickups are decent but I recommend dropping in some better ones. I recommend the Dragonfire Brownbuckers. You will find some blemishes on the finish but that happens even on the high priced Gibson's out there. This guitar is easy to play and the neck isn't too beefy. The frets are nicely done and have no sharp edges. The most important thing I would suggest is when shipping the guitar they remove the bottom strap button or find a better way to protect it during shipping. I have now had two guitars arrive with damage due to dropped boxes during shipping. I currently own four Harley Benton guitars and I just purchased two more.

Beautiful guitar

Really great quality excellent sound great feel

The main thing I wanted while I was choosing guitar was: "I. WANT. LES PAUL." and it's the best low budget les paul

Way better than I expected

I've read several reviews of this guitar and I can basically add nothing else to say how good it is. Finish, intonation and action were all spot-on for me out of the box. I didn't even bothe rot change the strings. This is well worth the cost and then some. Buy it.

Simply blown away

What amazing value ,it has a basswood body it's heavy but I like that and basswood also being used on many premium guitars today,stunning finish looks amazing the photos don't justify it ,I first bought this as a project guitar with the intention of changing pickups etc I still haven't changed them ,they are quite good and have their own personality and if they sound why change them,tuners do their job ,how quality has changed on instruments today from recent years ,might be a bit too heavy for a beginner or young child but don't let that put you off ,it sounds fantastic

Delighted with my purchase.

Really great, solid guitar that begs to be played every time I walk past it.

Ive played a single coil Tele for nearly 30 years and 10 years ago got a Variax 700 for variety. I always wanted to try humbuckers. I really was not disappoinetd.

The fit and finish on the SC-450 CB is really excellent in my opinion and it is a joy to play. Im a bit embarrassed to say but I can do things on this that I couldnt pull off on my Tele - squealies/pinch harmonics that I thought I didnt have the technique for. Turns out I just needed the beefier humbuckers.

Im really delighted with how this guitar turned out and no kidding, I cant walk past it, I have to pick it up and play even if its just for 10mins. That hasnt happened to me in years!

Totally thrilled and looking forward to picking up the OW Tele and even the 6 string Ricky. If the quality stays true to this guitar I will have a beautiful collection for seriously very little money.

Lovely first guitar

This was the first guitar I ever bought and I'm still so happy about it.

I have had little to none problems with it so far. Looks great and sounds great.

Great looking fun to play guitar.

beautiful lespaul

Excellent quality I am in love with this guitar. I love the sound and build quality
